T. KETRING. W. HULL. TIIE TIIUE ISSUE. Hon. George Sharswood and Hon. 11. W. Williams stand as opposing candidates on the tickets of the respective parties in the coming political contest. The contest is not between them as individuals, but as the representatives of fixed and well defined principles. Williams is a sound lawyer and an acceptable Judge; Sharswood is the same, and in these respects many persons might be disposed to say that it is of small consequence which is elected. Not so, however, the principles which they repre sent are directly antagonistic, diametrically opposed. Judge Sharswood represents the principles of the party that precipitated the country into the bloodiest civil war ever re corded in the pages of ancient or modern history; and although overwhelmed and de feated, its adherents are now assiduously striving to obtain by legislative enactments and judicial decisions the triumph which they sought in vain on the bloody field of battle. The election of Judge Sharswood would be regarded by the men who sought our national destruction as a step toward reversing the verdict of the people rendered at the point of a million bayonets, and at the cost of hundreds of thousands of most valuable lives, and thousands of millions of hard earned treasure. It would once more check the work of reconstruction in the lately rebellious States, and in every part of the country inspire the enemies of the Uuion and true republican liberty with fresh hopes of a final triumph. In short the election of Judge Sharswood to thcSupreme bench, at the present time, would be scarce ly less than a national calamity. His whole life and all his public acts and professions have been thoroughly identified with the party of slavery, nullification, State rights, secession and rebellion, and to-day he is its candidate, and as such the representative and exponent of its political faith. On the other hand Judge Williams is the representative of progressive Republican ism, and the exponent of its principles. He is the standard-bearer of the party whose whole history has been a continual strug gle for tho upholding and carrying out of the great principles laid down in the Decla ration of Independence, the right of all men, to life, liberty and the pursuit of hap piness. With this as its guiding star it has never swerved from the faith for which our revolutionary fathers fought and bled, and to-day after having preserved the nation from the parricidal hands of its own rebel lious people, still stands forth as the cham pion of the largest liberty consistent with the safety and unity of a free and intelli gent people. It is on such a broad and comprehensive platform, that Judge il liams stands as the candidate of the Repub lican party, and the representative of the only true principles on which to found and preserve free institutions. The issue then as wc have already said is not between the two men -as individuals, but as the repre sentatives and exponents of great princi ples. On the one hand stands Sharswood, the representative of a party and principles that for half a century has vainly striven to check the wheels of progress, turn hack the tide of human civilization, and convert a continent dedicated to freedom, by the blood of our revolutionary martyrs, into a slave mart for the buying and selling of hu man beings, and which in its last desperate effort has deluged our fair heritage with the blood of our fathers, husbands, sons and brothers, and darkened the pages of our country's history, with the records of An dersonville, Belle Isle and Libby prisons. On the other hand is Judge Williams, tho candidate and representative of a party and principles, that aim to elevale the human race to the highest attainable intelligence and liberty—to dedicate our whole country to untrammelled freedom —to give homes to the poor, security to the rich, and hap piness to all—to raise the iallcn, educate the ignorant, and CDable all to use to the best advantage, for their own personal wel fare, all the powers of mind and body with which an all-wise Providence has endowed them—to secure to every man, woman and child in the nation, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, as far as not inconsis tent with the rights of their fellow men. In such a contest none need be mistaken. The issue is clear and unmistakable, and none but the wilfully blind can err. The men who fought and hied for a united country, they who gave up their best beloved that our liberties might be preserved, none who stood by the country in the hour of her greatest peril, will now be found betraying her into the hands of her enemies. IN THE Surratt trial, the evidence closed on Saturday last, and the argument for the prosecution was begun. Ift-We see it stated in the Adams Nbi tinel that Hon. Edward McPhersort prPpti ses to donate received by him as Captain of Company K, Ist Regiment Penn sylvania lvcserves, to tho erection of a mon ument in honor of the Adams county sol diers who fell in the war for the Union. Mac. is getting liberal! jetr Lt is very amusing to see the effort being made, by our cotemporaries of the Copperhead persuasion, to explain away Judge ShnrsWood's opinion on the Consti tutionality of the Government currency. It is evident that very few of these apologists have read the document. We will publish it in a week or two. COKRESPOIKDEJtCE. FROM WEST VIRGINIA. MOINDSVILLE, July 2d, 1867. Editors fUdford Inquirer: Thinking some of my friends in Old Bedford would like to know where I am, I propose to furnish them the information through the columns of that good and loyal old sheet — THE IN QUIRER. I will first try to describe the pleasuut little town of "Moundsville" the County seat of Marshall Co. West Va. my present place of residence. There are two parts or precincts, as the citizens call thorn here, one is called Upper town, and the other Lower or old town. Upper town is the neatest and prettiest part of the place, from the fact there are no works of any kind going on, and it is so far from the Rail Road that it is free froiu all the black smoke and soot that generally comes from steam en gines. It is on a very nice rise of ground, with a beautiful view of the broad Ohio river. The citizens have a fair view of all the boats passing up and down the river, also have a nice view of the West Virginia Penitentiary that is going up at this place. It is being built of cut stone, the building alone covers three acres of ground, and the entire enclosure is ten acres with a wall twenty feet high. What they have now to keep the Prisoners in, is something similar to the "Andersonville Prison" or stockade, twenty feet high, with a sentry box in each corner. Within two hundred yards of the Prison is a Mound, one of the largest in the Mississippi Valley. It is seventy feet in perpendicular height, with a circumference at the base of eight hundred and twenty feet. The form of it : s what wc call a trun cated cone, with a summit diameter of sixty three feet. It is one of the most interesting things I have ever seen. There is a room in it called "The Tabletßoom or Chamber" where there was a skeleton of a human be ing found seven feet in height, also wristlets, made of copper, beads, shells, and a great many ornaments of different kinds. In the "Tablet Chamber" was found around stone or some kind of metal with curious marks on it, which as yet no one has been able to decipher. In the centre of the Mound is a hole, about ten feet in diameter, dug down on a level with the base anAll walled up with brick, and which you can see from the top, of one of the rooms ; I heard some one say there were some two or three more rooms. This one room was at one time (not many years ago) used as an Ice Cream Sa loon, with a Round House on the top. There are several of these Mounds in this eonnt v hot none as laree this one There are very large trees growing on the sides of it, some of them, I would suppose to be three feet thick and arc in circles around the Mound. 1 have inquired if there is a history of this wendcrful place, but it ap pears no one knows any thing about it, ex cept what the gentleman knows that owns it. It was owned by a company some years ago, but is owned at present by Colonel Loekwood, formerly of the 12th Regiment of West Virginia Infantry. The part of town preside in, is Old town, where wc have a Kegg Factory, two Steam Flouring Mills, Wharf, Post Office, a Boot and Shoe Store, two Dry good Stores, and a very nice Drug Store kept by a good old friend, Dr. J. Reichter, formerly of Bedford where he practiced Medicine for sixteen years. There is a great amount of business doDC in this part of towm double the amount there is in Upper town. The Baltimore and Ohio R. R. passes through this part and we have four daily trains with an accommodation train to Wheeling at 7 o'clock every morning, (Sundays excepted.) As it is getting late I must stop writing for the present, and will try and gather an other for some of my young friends on the system of Free Schools in this State. Your Obedient Servent, JAS. A. GILCHRIEST. ADDRESS OF THE UNION KEPUII - STATE CENTRAL COM MITTEE. COMMITTEE ROOMS, 1 IIARRISBCRO, July, 26, 1807. j TO THE PEOPLE OF PENNSYLVANIA. Fellow Citizens: —The official term of Geo. W. Woodward, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the State, is about to ex pire; and under the Constitution his succes sor will be elected on the second Tuesday of October next. This election is every way important, and the more so, because of the great principles and issues involved, and of the fact that the term is for fifteen years, All the powers of our governments, both National and State, are divided into three classes: the Legislative, Executive, and Ju dicial. The people are the source of all power, and our Constitutions provide the manner in which all offices shall be filled, and the terms for which they shall be held. The National judiciary being for life, and that of the State Judiciary fifteen years, changes in these tribunals are wrought more slowly than in the other branches of the Government; and hence sbould_ be made with the greater caution and wisdom; for nothing is of greater public importance than a wise and patriotic judiciary. Our past history shows a constant tendency in these several departments to enlarge their respec tive jurisdictions, and occasionally to en croach on each other; and especially is this true of the judiciary. It is but recently the Supreme Court of the United States, in the interests of slavery, gravely undertook to overturn the foundations of the Government on that question, and to nullify and de stroy acts of Congress enacted by the men who made the Constitution. The l)red Scott decision virtually legalized and exten ded slavery over all the Territories of the Union, in defiance of Congress and the peo ple; and laid down principles, which, but for subsequent events, would have extended •slavery and made it lawful in all the States. And after the recent civil war was inaugura ted, our State judicary, by a denial of the constitutional powers of Congress and of our State legislature, in measures absolutely necessary to carry oti the war and save the nation, so, imperiled our cause as to make itelligcnt patriots everywhere tremble lor the issue of the contest. True, these false theories did not prevail. But it is equally true the continued as.-ertion of them paraly zed the arms of both the National and State Governments, distracted and disheartened our people, gave aid and comfort to the enemy, prolonged the war, and added im measurably to our sacrifices of blood and treasure. Hence it is, "That warned by past misfortunes, we ask that the Supreme Court of the State be placed in harmony with the political opinions of the majority of the people, ID ttitf fdlti llial the Uourt may hover again, by unjust derisions, seek to set aside laws vital to the nation." Who, then, are HENRY W. WILLIAMS and GEO BOX SHARSWOOD, the candidates for this vacant seat upon the Supreme bench? What are their past records, and where do they stand, in these eventful times, and on these momentous issues? The weal or• woe of the Commonwealth, atul perhaps ol the nation, is involved in these questions; and it behooves every patriotic voter in the State to examine them with cAW. Of Judge Williams, the Union Republican candidate, we here propose to give no exten ded biography. He is a high toned thus tian gentleman, about forty six yenrs of age, a ripe scholar, a learned and eminent lawyer, with fifteen years, judicial experience, on the bench of the District Court of Allegheny county, lie was first elected judge in 18;' I, when he ran over one thousand votes ahead of his ticket, and was re-elected in 1861, bv the unanimous vote of all parties. The fol lowing extract from an editorial in the Pitts burg Post (the principal Democratic paper of the West), shows the estimation in which he is held by political adversaries: "The nomination of the Hon. Henry W. Williams as a candidate foj Judge oft ho Supreme Court is a good one. He mas tin best man tuimcd before the Republican t vention, and possesses legal and moialquali fications for the responsible position to which he has been nominated." He is of the Webster and Clay school of politics, and during the recent civil war, from the beginning to the end, did every thing in his power, through his means, his voice, and his votes, to strengthen the hand* and encourage the hearts of the loyal people in the struggle to maintain the Union. Who, and what Judge Sharswood is, as a public man, will appear from what follows; Early in the history of this nation politi cal sentiment became divided on the powers of the National aud State governments, and thejr true relations to each other. On these divisions two great parties were subsequently founded. The one. known as the State Rights party, had John C. Calhoun for its champion; and the other, for its tecognized leader, had the great expounder of the Con stitution, Daniel Webster. The former held free trade, and the right of nullification and secession, as cardinal doctrines, denying the constitutional power of Congress to im pose duties for protection, and claiming nul lification and secession as inherent rights of a State. The latter denied these assump tions, and between these conflicting princi pies and parties there has been p- i|n.'ual warfare. In the main, the old Whig party ranged itself under the bannerol' Webster, and the Democratic party under that of Cal houn. One of the legitimate fruit- ol the States rights doctrine was the rebellion of 1833, in South Carolina; the avowed object of which was to nullify the protective tariff law of Congress, enacted in 1828. The country at that time was saved from a di astrous civil war by the firmness of Uresi dent Jackson, the wisdom of Congress, and the patriotism of General Scott. That ef fort at rebellion and civil war failed; and the principle on which it was based was repudi atcd. But in 1860 and 1861 South Carolina, and other rebel States, again endeavored to put in force their States rights doctrine ol secession. The sympathy, imbecility, and connivance of President Buchanan, and his advisers, so contributed to the success of the effort, that its consummation could only be prevented by a long, desperate, and bloody civil war. In the end, and after fearful sac rifices of life and treasure, the rights aud power of the National Government were again vindicated; and the Calhoun doctrine of secession was again overthrown. Such at lea.-t has been the popular conviction, aud cause for rejoicing; and even the worst of Southern rebels have been compelled io eon f__, —.J i;., ■ weeping over their "lost cause. " Strange, sad, and incredible as it may seem, we are already called upon to fight these cr'-at i sues over again! The Democratic party, with Judge Sharswood for its leader, and with Free Trade, State Rights and See. --ion upon its banner, is again marshaling its hosts and now summoning us to the field of politi cal combat, on these same issues! That party, at their National Conventions iu 18">6 and 1860, readopted what are known as the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions of 1708 and 1799, as partof their platforms. These resolutions are known a- the embodiment of the old State rights and Calhoun doctrines. Tlit-y do not regard the relations of the States or people thereof to the United States is constituting a government , in the ordinary ami proper sense of the term, but declare them to b merely a compact, aud that "as in all other cases of compart among parties having no common judge, inch parti/ has an equal right to judge for its/If, AS WELI.OF INFRACTIONS, AS OF THE MnDKANIt MEASURE OF REDRESS." Under this free Democratic charter for rebellion, the lawful election of Abraham Lincoln as IV-ident of the United Stales was claimed by tin- people of the rebel States as an "infraction" of the "compact;" and they chose secession and civil war as the "mode" and the destruction of the Union cad State independence as "the measuns of redress." The Democratic party at it- ia-t National Convention proclaimed the war a failure; and it has now put in the field a life long Fice Trade and State Rights candidate, whom Judge Black endorses a- one who "will stand by the Constitution and cue pure law"—viz; who will stand by the Con- Btitution as the State Rights party con-true it, and give as such "pure law" a- Judge Black has given President BUCHANAN and ANDREW JOHNSON. Judge SHARE WOOD and his party friends have not only denied the lawful power of" the National Government to coerce a rebel lious State, to make and enforce a draft, to make paper money a legal tender, to emanci pate and arm negroes, to punish rebels and traitors by disfranchisement, to suspend tiie writ of habetu Corpus in time of rebellion, or to arrest and try offenders in time of war by court martial: but they bold that all the>o things, though actually done, were illegally aDd wrongfully done, and therefore sett\rd nothing! Or, as the Democratic organ (the Philadelphia Age), in a recent elaborate edi torial on the Republican State platform, thus expresses the same idea: "We i>uc,it to the sober thoughts of the pcopl- of i* no sylvania, whether they would not have all these grave pctidingquestions decided accor ding to law, and not according to war, JCST, IN FACT, AS THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN DECI DED HAD THEY ARISEN EIGHT YEARS AGO, OR HAD NO WAR TAKEN PLACE." Is, then, the "lost cause" not lost? Has the late dreadful war decided nothing? Is the right of secession an open question? lias slavery not been abolished? Are not the four millions of bondsmen free? Has our national debt no legaljexi-tence? Have the victors no power ovet the vanquished? Have the rebel Slates and people lost no rights by rebellion? Have our sacrifices of blood and treasure been all made in vain? Fellow citizens, weigh well these .-"leinn questions, and answer them at the ballot box on the second Tuesday of October next. Having concluded to reserve for a future occasion some remarks on party organization and other topics, this address might here properly close. But it may be asked by some, is Judge Sharswood, indeed, the no litical heretic herein set forth? "A man is known by the company he keeps," says the old adage. We have the right to assume, and have assumed, that the Judge is of the same political faith as his party, and the public will hold him responsible for all the guilty acts and omissions of his party. There can be no mistaking the true position of the man who recently delivered an elabo rate opinion denying the constitutional nower of Uongress to make paper money a legal tender. {See the case of Boric es Trott, Legal Intelligencer of March ISth. back, and examiic Ida early history, we find ample justificatbn for all we have written, and more.

It appears that the official copyof the sup plemental Reconstruction act was issued a tew days si nee from the State Department so full of errors that it has been found nec essary to i-siie a new copy, which has been carefully compared with the enrolled bill. The erroneous copy has led to the impr sion in some I'iaiier.s that the supplemental act deprives •'< President of all power of remo val o! Di-tri vt commanders, and places it in the hands of Gen.

The summing up of the counsel in the Surratt trial commenced on the 26th on be half of tlx- prosecution. The court room was crowded to suffocation and tile interest in the trial is intensified as it draws so near its i iid. Surratt winced a good deal, when the District Attorney was denouncing iiiui as a spy, blockade runner, murderer and as sassin, and .-cemcd visibly affected when the coun.-el charged that lie deserted his mother at the scaffold. The Government has advices that its spe cial bearer of dispatches has- at last reached the City of Mexico, and delivered to Mr. Ottcnhurg notice of his appointment as Minister to Mexico, a commission for which, however, has never been issued, together with the dispatches ofthc State Department Some of these dispatches telated to steps to prevent the execution of Maximilian. A dispatch from New Orleans says that Gen. Sheridan will probably appoint Judge Paschal Governor ot Texas in place of Gov. Throckmorton. It is i mooted that Gen.
